What’s the fastest you have ever been in an automobile? Is it 100 mph, 150 mph – maybe 200 mph? It seemed like you were screaming, right? Now, imagine going 263 mph. Now, imagine going 263 mph in only one mile – from a dead stop. That is some serious picking ‘em up and putting ‘em down. Kelly Bise and the KBR Team have built themselves a 3,380-pound rocket of an automobile. We are not talking about a stripped-down shell of a Corvette. This 15-year-old C6 Corvette still has ice cold air conditioning, electric seats, Bluetooth and satellite navigation. Despite Read More

Lauded as the fastest 1969 Chevrolet Camaro in the World, the Big Red Camaro is more than a muscle car – it’s a rolling legend. This video documents record breaking events as they unfold during the Mojave Magnum at the Willow Springs Raceway. This is a 1.5-mile course that demands the absolute best from driver and machine. For the Gottlieb family, the Big Red Camaro is a labor of love spanning more than three decades. Utilizing powertrain and suspension changes, Big Red transforms from street car to drag racer to world speed record setter on a regular basis. In an Read More

Less than a decade ago there were few auto enthusiasts that wanted anything to do with an electric vehicle. They were ugly, slow and rare. Today, they are among the fastest and most sought-after vehicles on the street. This half-mile drag race features two of the most capable production cars on the planet – from a performance standpoint. They just happen to be totally electric. The Lucid Air Sapphire, manufactured in the United States, is an all-wheel drive luxury sedan that just happens to run an 8.95-second quarter-mile @ 158 mph. That’s better than any Corvette, Mustang or Hellcat model. Read More

This short clip has more Italians than a Godfather film. Carwow has gathered some serious production iron in the form of Italian supercars. There is a twin turbocharged V6 (with an electric motor), a twin turbo V8 and a naturally aspirated (N/A) V12 on the track and ready for action. Boasting a combined sticker price of more than $1.5-million, these beautiful Italians are set to take on each other and the standing half-mile. In the left lane is the Ferrari 296 GTB. With its turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine and electric motor, this rear-wheel drive super hybrid can produce 830hp and Read More

This is the day that supercars took over the airstrip. At the top of the heap is the Bugatti Chiron. With a selling price of over $3 million, the Chiron is one of the most sophisticated and powerful cars ever produced. Today, we get a chance to see if this French machine can tame the latest dream-squasher to come out of “Detroit”. Boasting a 9-second quarter-mile, the stock Tesla Model S Plaid has been whipping everybody. Before the Tesla and Bugatti go at it, we have a dig race between a Porsche 911 Turbo S and the all-electric Plaid sedan. Read More

Please excuse me for taking a minute to get over this all-electric sedan whipping everyone at the dragstrip – well, not everyone but you see what I’m saying. A pair of Plaid sedans are featured in this clip. Neither have undergone any form of weight reduction and both are on stock Pirelli tires. The blue Plaid draws an 800hp Camaro ZL1 for the first (roll) race. The Camaro gets the initial jump before the Tesla “swooshes” around him to take the win. The result is a top speed of 153 mph (161 mph just past the finish line) for the Read More

The venue is the Indy Airstrip Attack 2021. Looking for some action, Kyle (1320 Video) showed up in his AMS built 1300hp Audi R8 V10 Plus. Action is precisely what Kyle found. A stretched-out Ninja H2 was quick to take the bait and the two competitors agreed upon a roll race on this half-mile course. The Audi R8 shares a platform with the Lamborghini Huracan. Both cars are powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine. AMS Performance added their Alpha 1200 twin turbo kit to Kyle’s car. After all the bells and whistles were bolted into place and the Read More

The Original BIG RED Camaro is famous for taking on almost every kind of racing imaginable. From No Prep Drag Racing to Hill Climbing, this guy has done it all in his 1967 Chevy Camaro. He’s even gone 266 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats – but let’s address the elephant on the room. Wait a minute! That ain’t no elephant. It’s a giant wing on the back of the BIG RED Camaro (biggest wing that I’ve ever seen). Get this: It’s functional too. As one might expect, the BIG RED Camaro uses a variety of engines according to the Read More

Meet the pros from AIM Performance. These guys are to Porsche performance what a pig is to barbecue. Everything. Today they are working the kinks out of a colleague’s 911 before they ship it home. Three characteristics standout about this Porsche. It’s right-hand drive. It’s all-wheel drive. It’s awfully fast. Of course, the Porsche 911 is a rear-engine all-wheel drive machine. This one has been upgraded (stroked) from a 3.8-liter to a 4.1-liter engine. The motor is fully built and enhanced with a pair of Precision 6870 turbochargers. The gearbox is a Hewland sequential and the car is owned by Read More
